Welcome Cris! I am glad you have joined our ever growing family on Scrap Girls! isn't being a grandma fun?? I have 5 grandchildren and they are all the love of my life. My youngest one Jamie lives in the same town I do, so I see him more often than the other 4 which live 2 hours south of me. St. Paul is a beautiful area although it may well have changed since I lived in Mpls in 1981-1983! I used to attend the St. Paul Highland Church for the deaf.

I do not think I have added my detail to this before.... so here goes...

I am Anne-Marie and I am married to Ken ( 17 years this month) and have one daughter Ruth who will be 26 next month ( I was a single mother when I met Ken ) and now I have two sweet little granddaughters - Imogen and Kirra. I do have steps but we only have contact with one - Ken's son and his family which is 3 boys and 1 girl.

I love the Lord ( does not always show as I am slipping in my faith a little lately ), love my family , love nature ( adore the birds that visit our backyard ), love to do crafts including digital scrapbooking, paper scrapbooking and cardmaking using rubber stamps.

I live in a town called Toowoomba in the state of Queensland in the country of Australia.

I'm going to join this party. :-) My name is Heather, but I use Heatheranne in ScrapGirls. I'll answer to both names, plus HAW (my initials) if you prefer less letters. lol

I love my dog most! He's a super companion. He's quiet, affectionate and friendly. I know he loves me because he licks me and likes to be around me. One of the greatest things about find ScrapGirls is that I can scrap photos of him.

I live in cold country Canada, on a country highway, about ten minutes drive from Peterborough, Ontario. Which reminds me, I really need to get away from the computer and winterize. A couple of plants need to be brought in before they freeze. :-(

Who am I? My name is Pam and I am a stay at home mom for the past two years since I had my son in 2008. I am 44 years old. I have a son Jamie who is 14 and a son Eli who is 1! I am married to a wonderful Christian man who hunts and fishes named Donnie. We all actually like to hunt and fish...except for Eli but we have hopes for him too!

I love Jesus Christ because He loves me so much that He gave His life to restore me to fellowship with God and everyday He shows me new things. I love to do many things but have very little time due to homeschooling my son, having a toddler, doing part-time work at my church as a pianist and secretary and doing part-time work at home doing medical transcription. In addition to the ever present housework!

I live in the foothills of North Carolina and love it!

I am very new to digital scrapbooking and am hoping to learn how to do it by joining this forum.

Hi Kerry - I am Sara - an Air Force Wife for 26 plus years - now retired and living in North Carolina - sure do miss the AF life though - and you are stationed in such a great place! My dh went from AF right into being a police officer here locally and loves it. We just miss all the friends we had made in the AF and have lost track of so many of them now. Also miss getting orders - that is the only way my closets got cleaned out regularly! LOL Good to have you here with us - Enjoy and hope to see some layouts and see you on the MB soon.

I'm hoping I'm in the right place and doing this correctly! I'm, of course I'm sure you can already tell, new! My name is Susan. I live in Carlsbad, California. I got back into photography about a year ago. When my new grandson arrived, I realized I needed a really great camera, and I'm having so much fun with it! I retired from teaching a year and a half ago. I wanted to be able to babysit my grandson while his mommy is at work. I am loving every minute of time I have with him. He is a true blessing from God!

We recently celebrated his first birthday. It had a cowboy theme. After I took all of the pictures, I wanted to present them in some cute fashion. I started looking online at Google images and stumbled upon some digital scrapbooking pages. Wow! It was so exciting to see what all of you have done with your pictures! I already had Photoshop, so I was able to start immediately. I just finished my first Shutterfly book. It turned out so great! Of course, there are some flaws that I didn't catch, but I'm probably the only one who notices them!

I've been lurking on here admiring all of your creations for a while. Thank you all for the inspiration you have been to me!

I will try to post some of my pages soon. My user name is ScrappinGigi!

Thanks again, Susan

You've come to the right place Susan and Welcome to Scrap Girls! If you already have photoshop you should know you need to buy Ro's Secrets and More Secrets from the boutique. We are having a SALE! LOL what more incentive to do this? Feel free to come to our chats...there is one this evening for newbies! Looking forward to getting to know you!

What I love most, is my family and I love to be creative. That's why I love to stamp and make cards, love to scrapbook, I really love doing altered arts (making mini albums, clip boards, card boxes, pencil holders out of cans, etc. (Just give me an item and I'll try to alter it with a little scrapbook patterned paper and some embellishment.)I like all crafts in general.

HI, i'm Freda. I am a retired nurse,wife mom and grandma to the best grand daughter in the world. (aren't they all)

I'm a christian, love bible study, music, exercising, reading spending time with my mom(86 years old) and any type of crafts. I love seeing all your pages and hope in the future to be at least half way as creative as all of you.

I also love where I live ... PEI is a fantastic place to raise a family! and what I do ... public servant by day and Primerica agent by night ....

I have literally JUST started digi-scrapping and am so excited as I rarely have time or space to haul out all my paper supplies ...

That's all for now folks!

New to message board, but not to digi scrapping. I've been doing that for a couple of years; paper scrapping a whole lot longer. My first book goes way back to my first trip to CA in 1964. That was back in the day when there weren't so many neat things to develop themed books. My girls got me hooked on doing it again about 10 years ago. Then I discovered digi scrapping...or so much fun.

My husband & I live in northeastern Indiana where we both grew up where we raised 3 children. We have 7 grandchildren who all live nearby & are the center of a lot of my pages. I'm getting ready to retire next year & hope to be able to spend more time designing scrapbook pages.

I have been getting the newsletters from Ro for a long time & so much enjoy her muses. Tonight I just finished reading all of her Christmas Ebenazer story. I have saved lots of her muses over the years & used them in Bible studies & women's programs at my church. I just felt that I needed to join in more at this website.
